' To all whom it may concern:

- having an inwardly ofl'set lip or tonguefor engaging a lip or tongue on the paper cup to hold the latter in place. i

On the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of the holder and a container for the paper cups,

' showing the manner of picking up the paper cups from the container by the holder.

Figure 2 is a front view of the holder with the paper cup in place.

Figure 3 is a perspective View of the same with parts in section.

figure 4 is a section on the line 4.4 of Fi ure 2. I

s shown on the drarwin v The present embodiment of the invention comprises a holder or body 1 of frusto-con ical shape and arranged with its small end downward, and the large end of the holder proper is beaded as shown at 2. The lower small end of the holder proper isv continuous with a column or standard 3 of tubular on its under face near its periphery to form.

an annular rib 5 on the upper face for the purpose of reinforcing and strengthening the base. The body 1 of the holder is shape to fit a cone having a lateral area threefourths of the areaof the circle the radius of which is the slant length of the cone. That is, the holder is shaped to fit and receive conical cups made from blanks of circular shape by formingone-fourth'of the area of the blank into a tongue or lip.

The bod of the holder is provided with an inward y offset tongue 6 the tongue in the present instance being formed by slittin the material of the body on lines paralle and spaced apartfrom each other and connected at one end, the material between the lines being offset inwardly more particularly in Figure 4.

The paper cups are formed from disks of paper creased on twolines extending from the center to the periphery at an angle of 45 with-respect to each other.

as shown The blank 7 is bent in opposite directions The tongue or lip 8 of the paper cup is engaged beneath the tongue or lip 6 of the holder to hold the papercup in place, the

aper cup being formed into a cup by the iiend above mentioned. The paper cup is of such size that when i'nplace in the cup a portion of the paper cup will extend beyond the bead 2 of the holder, as indicated at 9 in Figures 2 and 3.to protect the edge of the holder proper.

The apex of the cup formed by folding the blank is received in the hollow stand or column 3 of the holder. In practice the blanks folded as above mentioned in cup shape are arranged within a container comprising an approximately cylindrical body 10, having its upper edge beaded as shown at 11, and provided with an opening 12,'exteniding from the top to the bottom of the b0 A bottoin 13 is provided for the container,

and the cups 7 formed by folding the blanks are nested, and are then placed in the container in inverted position as shown in Figure 1.

lVhen it is desired to use one of the cups formed by the folding of the blanks, the

holder is grasped by the base as shown in Figural and placed in position over the vious that it is not essential to fold onemay be easily dislodged through the tubular column for the said column pens through the base.

. connected to sai I claim as my invention:

' 1. A holder for folded paper cups of conical shape comprising a frusto-conical body arranged with its small end downward and open, a base of circular form and a tubular column connecting the small end of the body with the base, said base having an opening .at the column, and the body having a portion of the wall thereof partially separated and ofi'set inwardly to form a tongue for engaging the fold of the cup.

2. A holder for folded paper cups of conical shape comprising a frusto-conical body arranged with its small end downward and open, and a base connected to the small end of the body, a portion of the Wall of the body being partiall 7 separated and offset inwardl to form a tongue for engaging the fold of the blank.

3. A holder for folded paper cups of conical form comprising a body formed to fit the exterior of said cup and having an aperture in its side intermediate its height, a base rigidly'connected tothe small end of said body and a tongue attached to said body and prO ecting over said aperture for engaging a fold of said cup to hold the cup in contact with said body and permit the extent of said engagement to be seen from] the exterior of said body.

4. A holder for paper cups of conical form comprising a body part formed to fit the exterior of said cup, having an aperture in its side intermediate its height, and a base rigidly connected to the small end of said body partb a tubular standard rigidly base and body part rigidly secured thereto and projecti over said aperture for engaging a fold 0 said cup to hold the cup in contact with the body and permit the extent of said engagement to be seen from the exterior of said holder.

5. A holder for folded paper cups of conical form, comprising a body formed to fit the exterior of said cup, a, base connected to of said cup, a flap on said cup,

the small end of said body, and a tongue attached to said body intermediate its height, and extending circumferentially of the body, and adapted to engage a fold of the cup to hold the cup in contact with the body and to permit the cup to be received in the container Without the necessity of touching said cup.

6. A device of the class described, comprising in combination a conicalcup, a holder therefor comprising a body formed to fit the exterior of said cup, and means on said cup and body intermediate their height adapted to interengage by rotation to hold the two in engagement.

7. A device of the class described, comprising a conical cup, and a holder therefor comprising a body formed'to fit the exterior of said cup, a base'connected to the small end of said body, and a tongue-attached to said body intermediate its height, extending circumferentially of the body and adapted to engage a fold of the cup to hold the two in engagement.

8. A device of the class described, comprisinga conical cup, and a holder therefor comprlsing a body formed to fit the exterior and a tongue of the holder adapted attached to the bod to engage said flap aterally to hold the two in engagement. Y

9. The method of applying sanitary cups to holders, which conslsts in assembling a Y plurality of nested cups, and then applying to the exposed cup a holder in such manner as to cause-the two-to interlock.

10. The method of applying sanitary cups to holders, which consists in assembling a plurality of cups nested and inverted, and then applying to the uppermost of said cups an inverted holder in such manner as to cause the two'to interlock.

11. The method of applying sanitary cups to holders, which consists in assembling a plurality of nested cups, then applying to the exposed cup a holder, and then rotating said holder, thereby causing it to engage and lock with said cup.

12. The method of applying sanitary cups to holders, which consists in assembling a plurality of cups nested and inverted, then applying to the uppermost of said cups an inverted holder," and then rotating said holder, thereby causing it to engage andlock with said cup.

Intestimony whereof I have-hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
